If you have been watching "The Next Food Network Star" then you know who Melissa d' Arabian is. I was sooooo happy she was the winner, she's from Keller TX, has 4 young children, and no formal training in food. Her show, focuses on making meals for four for $10 and under! Perfect for me, I'm trying to get back into the swing of cooking again. So some new easy meals would be great! I believe her show will premiere this Sunday on the Food Network!

So anyways... here is the recipe.... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/5-minute-individual-potato-gratins-recipe/index.html

I made them tonight for dinner, and they were some of the best potatoes I've ever had let alone made. The only things I did differently are:

1. I used 1 XL potato, it filled 10 of the 12 muffin cups.2. I used half swiss cheese and half american cheese3. I used heavy cream, but if you don't have any you can substitue for a slice of butter on top.4. Oh and make the last layer before the heavy cream the cheese, it gives it a nice brown crust.5. One more thing, I only cooked mine for about 25 min. Once they start bubbling they are done!

They were super simple and a great quick and easy side dish.

Next I'm going to try her 4 step chicken. It looks really good/ easy and you can add or take out things you like/dislike. Here is the recipe for that if you wanna give it a try... http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/flexible-4-step-chicken-for-family-and-company--rustic-lemon-onion-chicken-recipe/index.html

About Me

We now are a family of four! I feel more like a real family, whatever that is! My husband, Kyle and I have been married for 3 years last May. He has his own business... everything from Website design and online marketing to photography! I am a SAHM now for about 3 years now. I love it! I am so blessed to be able to spend so much time with my two kids, and raise them I want them to be raised. I have a 2 year old, Kobi Cade who is my big baby! I love to baby him but he wants to be a BIG boy. He's my first what else would I do! I can't believe he will be 3 this December! And the new addition... Makayla Paige she is my baby girl. She is such a momma's girl and already is a bit spoiled I have to admit. So thats it anything else and I would have to make this my first official blog!
